I'd also be cool seeing this thread in 20 or so games. This is the 2nd thread he's started in 4 games about Kira Lewis not playing. 3 games into the season with almost an entire new roster. So yeah I stand with my words.

My apologies you didn't start the first thread just bitched the whole time about how Kira is a bust if he doesn't play every game.

Maybe I am in the minority, but I am loving the short bench. SVG knows he has 7 NBA ready players on the roster, and then a handful of unknowns, including Kira. He's trying to install a new system and figure out what works. Makes sense to get the top half of the roster acclimated initially, maybe over the first 10 games or so, and get some damn wins/confidence. Nothing worse that starting off 2-8(again) and then playing behind the 8ball for the rest of the season.

I just don’t think the site is so bandwidth starved that people need to get themselves bent out of shape tone policing what threads get started, and what opinions/concerns people can express. I think different fans have different things they look at and I think asking those questions in the context he has(prefacing he isn’t drawing any firm conclusions yet) is entirely valid and at least fills the dead space with something to talk about in between games and breaking news.

Nice reading comprehension. I've started one thread in all of 2020, this one, so no, it's not the 2nd thread i've started about this.
Someone else started a thread about if Kira would get minutes or play in the G-League, and i wanted to make sure everyone understood the precedence of rookies picked in the top 13 over the last few years, and that he's not playing in the fricking G-League this year, and that isn't an expectation anyone should ever have with a top 13 pick. And i said it time and time again in that thread that i don't think it will be that big of a deal if he doesn't play in the first few games, but he should be getting regular minutes by the 20-30 game mark, and if he isn't, that's a big concern to me and should be to everyone.

all i've gotten from most are excuses, as if we are the only team in the league with new players, or a new coach. Last year was the first year we've had rookies worth a shite since AD/Rivers basically. We had 1 first round draft pick in 6 years, Buddy, and we couldn't' even hold onto him for a full season.
Because of that, i can understand how many of you are having a hard time understanding how most teams handle rookies compared to what we did last year, and possibly will do this year.
